Answer:

Administer supplemental oxygen

Explanation:

The first step in this case is to ensure that the patient's body contains the appropriate oxygen levels, so you should provide supplemental oxygen administration.

Oxygen is a basic necessity for all humans. The air we breathe contains 21% oxygen. The man who has been intoxicated has difficulty breathing, so we can conclude that his body is oxygen deficient, which can cause many problems including death. For this reason, the first step is to administer supplemental oxygen and then provide emergency medical care for this man.

Some stretching exercise can be harmful, even if performed correctly. <br> a. True<br> b. False?
baherus [9]
True, some stretching exercises can be harmful, even if performed correctly. 

There are many stretching exercises that can cause you problems. The most sensitive spots on your body are your neck, your back, and your knees. The most common stretching technique is to bend over and touch your toes (even doctors will tell you to do this at times). Doing that will cause tension in your lower back which may be bad going forward.
